He mentions the Arkwright family, the church at Cromford, and the generous financial donations of Mr. Beaumont which have covered various expenses of the Matlock Bath church.

He mentions that his parents are dead and that his widowed brother preaches at the parish of Sutton Coldfield in Warwickshire.
